The large entourage arrived at Woniu Pass. Qin Dongyang had already received reports from his scouts. Furthermore, Cheng Shijie was aware of Emperor Taizong of Song sending Princess Zhaoyang to Shanxi. Qin Dongyang sought his brother-in-law's advice, and Cheng Shijie instructed him to closely monitor the imperial envoy's movements and find an opportunity to test the Emperor's sincerity. Thus, Qin Dongyang, accompanied by his two wives and a group of civil and military officials, went out of the city gate to greet them.
At this moment, Pan Feng had returned to the carriage. Liu Lang led Qin Dongyang over to pay his respects to the princess and told Qin Dongyang that his entourage had not yet had lunch. Qin Dongyang immediately ordered that Liu Lang's imperial envoy entourage be welcomed into the city and arranged for two grand hotels to entertain them. Then he insisted on inviting Liu Lang and his party to his residence as guests.
So, Liu Lang invited Pan Feng to accompany him to Qin Dongyang's residence, with Murong Xuehang, Zi Ruo'er, Bai Yunfei, Bai Xuefei, Pan Bao, Zhang Guangbei, and Li Tongshun as guests. Qin Dongyang's private mansion was very grand. After entering the gate, the group walked along a flower-lined path. The flowerbeds on both sides were filled with rare and unusual large flowers, some pale purple, some blood red, some light yellow, and some pink, their fragrance filling the entire garden. On the grand platform of the palace steps, eighteen red-clad guards with swords stood silently, along with four women in flowing robes, respectfully welcoming them at the palace gate.
Upon entering the hall and taking their seats, although it was not yet dark, the hall was already brightly lit, as if it were daytime. The hall was magnificent and the seats had been arranged. Princess Zhaoyang took the seat of honor, with Liu Lang and Qin Dongyang on either side. Liu Lang's subordinates sat on the left, while Qin Dongyang's two wives and a group of civil and military officials sat on the right. Before long, a sumptuous feast was served. Liu Lang and his party were already hungry, so they ate heartily without any ceremony. After several rounds of drinks and dishes,
Qin Dongyang inquired about Liu Lang's journey in a flattering manner. When he heard that Liu Lang had been assassinated by the Liao Kingdom's Flying Eagle Hall halfway through the journey, Qin Dongyang feigned surprise and said, "Such a thing happened? Those Liao barbarians are truly audacious and overconfident. Fortunately, Your Excellency, you are discerning and have the military expertise to drive back those bandits. Otherwise, if Princess Zhaoyang had suffered any mishap on my territory, I would truly be unable to bear the responsibility!"
Liu Lang laughed heartily and said, "General Qin, you flatter me. I am young and ignorant, how can I compare to you, a veteran of many battles? In any case, it is our duty to escort the princess safely. Besides, the princess has already arrived at your Woniu Pass, so you must be on your guard!"
Qin Dongyang flattered, "That's right, that's right. This humble general will certainly be careful and send experts to strengthen the defenses to ensure the safety of the princess and the imperial envoy."
Liu Lang laughed and said, "I am relieved by Lord Qin's words. I have long heard that the general has many experts under his command. Seeing them today, I am truly impressed!"
As Liu Lang spoke, he looked at Qin Dongyang's men one by one, thinking to himself, "Qin Dongyang has many experts under his command. When I return from Taiyuan, I will inevitably have to fight him. It would be best if I could understand them so that I can know myself and my enemy."
Then he said, "I have also practiced martial arts since childhood and have always admired those highly skilled outlaws. I wonder if Lord Qin could have one of his trusted generals come up and show us his skills?"
Qin Dongyang nodded and said, "Of course!"
Then he said to those below, "Which one of you will come forward and demonstrate for His Majesty the Imperial Envoy?"
A gray-robed monk, over ten feet tall, stood up from the seat on the right, stepped forward, bowed, and said, "This humble monk has possessed invulnerability to swords and spears since childhood. I'll make a fool of myself with this skill!"
After saying this, he threw off his outer robe, revealing a body of dark, muscular, and muscular flesh. After holding his breath, two guards came up and wielded golden-backed ghost-head sabers. They slashed wildly at his bare upper body, but the Hu monk did not have a single scratch on his body.
Liu Lang clapped his hands and said, "Truly excellent skill!"
Zi Ruo'er scoffed, "It's nothing more than a self-defense skill developed through external martial arts training; there's nothing to be ashamed of."
When the monk saw someone mocking him, he noticed that it was a handsome young guard. Feeling embarrassed, he said coldly, "Young man, don't talk big. Since you say it's nothing special, then please come and try it."
Zi Ruo'er sneered, "Let's try!"
Having said that, he leaped over and said to the Hu monk, "I will also use one of my skills, and then you can attack me with your swords and spears. Those two, including you, can come at me together!"
After saying that, he put his hands together and shouted loudly. At the same time, the top of his head was filled with radiant light, and a sharp red-blue wave of energy quickly spread outwards. The blue wave of energy spread outwards to a radius of 10 feet before stopping. The blue wave of energy rubbed against the outside air and emitted a layer of outer shell like flames, which enveloped Zi Ruoer.
Hu Seng, harboring resentment, impatiently ordered his two servants to attack. They swung their two broadswords fiercely at Zi Ruo'er, but it was like hitting a stubborn rock. Despite the flying sparks, they couldn't break through Zi Ruo'er's defenses. Zi Ruo'er said contemptuously, "Old monk, if you're not convinced, try it yourself."
Enraged, the Hu monk channeled his full power and unleashed a powerful Mountain-Splitting Palm strike at Zi Ruo'er. This external martial art might be effective against ordinary experts, but it was no match for the Holy Maiden of the Cultivation Realm. Her Fire and Thunder Formation was impenetrable. The Hu monk unleashed three palm strikes in succession, but failed to harm Zi Ruo'er in the slightest. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he took the Golden-Backed Ghost-Headed Saber from one of his guards and began hacking at Zi Ruo'er's crimson-blue protective barrier. However, he was exhausted and panting heavily, but still to no avail.
Seeing his colleague being humiliated, another man stepped forward from Qin Dongyang's men. This man was thin, but his eyes were bright and piercing. He stepped forward and shouted, "I am Long Qiuping, and I am willing to learn from you."
When the monk saw Long Qiuping make his move, he naturally slunk away. Zi Ruo'er stopped her magic, looked at Liu Lang, and waited for his orders.
Liu Lang wanted to test all the experts under Qin Dongyang's command, so he instructed Zi Ruo'er: "You accompany this brother for a couple of moves, but remember to stop when you've made your move. We're all family, so don't hurt our harmony."
Zi Ruoer accepted the order and turned to Long Qiuping, asking, "How shall we compete, Your Excellency?"
Long Qiuping said coldly, "This lord just used the Beacon Fire and Thunder Formation from the Cultivation Realm. It is indeed powerful that it is impervious to swords and spears. However, I also have a skill here that can counter swords and spears. Why don't you try it and see if you can break through it?"
Having said that, his figure swayed, and black clouds rose up around him, suddenly forming three giant black dragons that coiled up and down, protecting him.
Zi Ruo'er exclaimed in shock, "This is clearly the Black Dragon Triple Array of the Asura Realm, the same defensive array as my Beacon Fire Thunder Array. The difference is that the defensive array of the Asura Realm can only be cultivated after reaching the Eighth Rank of Kui Luo. It seems that Long Qiuping really came with ill intentions. He knows that his cultivation is higher than mine, but he deliberately came to embarrass me so that he can save some face for Qin Dongyang."
However, she couldn't show weakness before even fighting, so she gathered all her strength and unleashed a Wind, Fire and Thunder Technique. The purplish-brown lightning bolt flashed towards Long Qiuping, but with a loud bang, it struck the three evil dragons directly. The attacks canceled each other out, and the lightning bolt vanished without a trace in an instant. Zi Ruo'er knew she couldn't break through Long Qiuping's defense, but she didn't show any weakness and said, "You're really powerful! But just because I can't hurt you doesn't mean I've lost to you. If it were you fighting me, you certainly wouldn't be able to either."
Long Qiuping merely sneered. Although he knew he couldn't defeat Zi Ruoer instantly, he believed that the outcome would become clear over time. With his Eight Kui Luos, even at his worst, he wouldn't lose to an opponent with only seven Yuan Shens! However, this wasn't a place of life and death, especially since they were imperial envoys sent by the emperor. Although he only obeyed Lord Qin, he still had to show respect to the imperial envoys.
Long Qiuping smiled slightly and said, "You flatter me. Let's call it a draw. Your Excellency's subordinates are indeed full of hidden talents. I admire you!"
Having said that, he turned and returned to his place. Zi Ruo'er also withdrew her moves and went back. Pan Bao, watching with great interest, jumped out and said, "This is...this is really fun! I want to have a match too!"
Liu Lang knew that Pan Bao might look foolish, but he possessed superhuman strength, so he said, "Next round, it's a strength contest. Lord Qin, pick out one of your strongest men and have him compete against Princess Zhaoyang's brother."
Liu Lang deliberately told everyone present that Pan Bao was the princess's younger brother, and that they should all be careful not to harm him, otherwise it would be considered insubordination.
Qin Dongyang understood this principle of nature, so he said to those below, "Xuanyuan Shenghu! You come and try!"
A burly man stood up below. Liu Lang had noticed him earlier, as he had always stood out from the crowd. At first, Liu Lang thought the man was standing, but upon closer inspection, he realized he was a giant, taller than everyone else even when sitting. Standing next to Pan Bao, Pan Bao only reached his waist. Pan Bao was initially startled by such a giant. But then, with his small, squinting eyes, he remembered the saying "all show and no substance," and exclaimed, "Ah... I want..."
No one could understand what he was saying, but Pan Bao had already reached out and grabbed Xuan Yuanshenghu's wrist tightly. Then, with one arm, he tried to lift Xuan Yuanshenghu up. You should know that when Pan Bao practiced martial arts at home, he could lift a stone lion weighing more than 600 jin with one arm. He estimated that Xuan Yuanshenghu weighed at most 500 jin, so he wanted to lift him up and throw him away.
But when Pan Bao grabbed Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu's arm, he realized that Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu was also incredibly strong. Seeing that Pan Bao was competing with him, he slowly raised his arm. Pan Bao tried his best to suppress the force, but Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu's arm still slowly rose. Pan Bao's body also grew upwards. Seeing that he was about to make a fool of himself, Pan Bao's eyes rolled, and he suddenly let go of his hand and pushed Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu in the middle of the movement. Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu couldn't stop his strength and staggered back seven or eight steps before falling to the ground with a thud.
Pan Bao laughed heartily, but Xuan Yuan Sheng Hu stood up with a pale face. He reached behind him and pulled out his unique weapon—a one-legged bronze figure weighing a full 160 jin (approximately 80 kg), which gleamed brightly in the candlelight, emitting a dazzling yellow glow. Every step he took was powerful and forceful. He strode towards Pan Bao with a fierce glare, each step seeming to vibrate in everyone's heart, like a drumbeat, shaking their spirits. In terms of imposing presence, he had already overwhelmed Pan Bao.
Pan Bao turned back to his seat, grabbed his large bronze cudgel, and said to Xuan Yuanshenghu, "Little...you little punk, don't think you can bully people just because you're big. I'll teach you a lesson!"
As he spoke, he swung his stick at Xuan Yuanshenghu. This blow was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and no ordinary person could withstand it. However, Xuan Yuanshenghu did not retreat an inch. He casually raised the one-legged bronze figure and used the move "Thousand Army Charge" to block Pan Bao's big stick. The one-legged bronze figure raised a golden light screen and blocked it. The sound of metal clashing was deafening. Liu Lang almost dropped his wine cup on the table. The two of them were fighting head-on, and the clanging sounds were endless. The fight was extremely fierce.
